Rails - Nov 2005 - word_wrap with hard break

How can I force word_wrap to break text like this?

<% @text=''abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'' %>

<%= word_wrap(@text, 10) %>

It appears to currently only break on space characters.

thanks
csn

Possibly ever-so-slight overkill:

<% require ''strscan''
scan = StringScanner.new(@text)
while b = a.scan(/.{0,10}/) -%>
<%= b %><br />
<% end -%>

Sod.  That was stupid.  I meant this:

<% require ''strscan''
scanner = StringScanner.new(@text)
while line = scanner.scan(/.{0,10}/) -%>
<%= line %><br />
<% end -%>

Apologies for the confusion...
